Hi Mike, Drew (CC'd) is just starting to compile ideas for a more extensible urlbar API, which includes the rich-result-popup you mentioned, as well as the urlbar-rich-result-popup that extends it. It would be great to add your use cases to that conversation, especially because HTML vs XUL will be an important issue to discuss.
You might also want to follow https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1257550, and/or share your thoughts in #ffsearch.
